RGB Fan problems ubuntu server

General

Hi,
I use the Pyronman raspberry 5 case as a media center, so I don’t need a light-show. The pulsating RGB fans are annoying in a dark room. No matter what I try - cannot switch them off.

cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME=“Ubuntu 24.10”
NAME=“Ubuntu”
VERSION_ID=“24.10”
VERSION=“24.10 (Oracular Oriole)”
VERSION_CODENAME=oracular
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
…
UBUNTU_CODENAME=oracular
LOGO=ubuntu-logo

pironman5 -c
{
“auto”: {
“rgb_color”: “ff0000”,
“rgb_brightness”: 50,
“rgb_style”: “solid”,
“rgb_speed”: 50,
“rgb_enable”: false,
“rgb_led_count”: 4,
“temperature_unit”: “C”,
“gpio_fan_mode”: 2,
“gpio_fan_pin”: 6
}
}

The RGB fans don’t react at all, no matter what I try
My kernel via uname -r show:

6.11.0-1004-raspi

Please help!

Currently, the RGB fan on the Pironman 5 does not support independent control of the RGB lights. The RGB and the fan will operate together as a single unit. However, we are planning to release a new version of the Pironman 5 that will allow for separate control of the fan and RGB lights in the future.

Thank you for your quick reply!

Maybe I should roll back to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. I have another machine running and everything is working fine there…

That’s correct. Please refer to our tutorial here:3. Installing the Operating System — SunFounder Pironman 5 documentation

However, we will later verify and analyze any issues related to new system versions. For now, I recommend using the system versions introduced in the tutorial.
